WHAT IS BINGE EATING DISORDER?
Binge Eating Disorder (BED) is the most common eating disorder. In North America, it is likely that around 3.5% of women and 2% of men will have binge eating disorder during their life (1,2).
-
This makes BED over 3X more common than anorexia and bulimia combined.
-
BED is also more common than breast cancer, HIV, and schizophrenia.
The good news, is that BED is EXTREMELY treatable. With help, it is very possible to overcome binge eating. On one's own, it is quite difficult and maybe impossible for some. This is because conquering this battle requires mindset shifts that are counter-intuitive to the binge eater. No matter how long you've been struggling, you can beat binge eating with help. Whether you identify with the diagnosis or are unsure if you have Binge Eating Disorder, reach out via email today to find out if I'm the right person to help you live life the way you want to.
